After following Meng Da into the inner room, Duan Kun saw an upright middle-aged scribe sitting in the room.
"My Majesty, Duan Kun, Commander of the Jinyi Guards, has met Mr. Xiaozhi."
Fazheng chuckled, "How do you know and be sure that I am Fazheng?"
"Guess."
"Guess? I thought Jin Yiwei was really omnipotent."
Duan Kun said seriously, "There are 382 Jinyi Guards in Xichuan. As long as Mr. Xiaozhi needs them, they can all obey your orders."
Fazheng smiled again, "Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you and send you to Liu Zhang for credit?"
Duan Kun shook his head, "Since you are determined to seek refuge in Jingchu, my lord has no doubts about you. I came here under your orders. No matter how you deal with me, I will be worthy of my lord's trust."
"Hahaha!" Fazheng laughed loudly, "The general is indeed a thoughtful person."
After saying that, he stood up, cupped his hands in front of Duan Kun and said, "I am Fazheng. I will never let down the Marquis of Chu or Jingchu. If I disobey you, I will be pierced by thousands of arrows and die."
Duan Kun waited for Fazheng to finish speaking, then hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Sir is serious. Our Lord trusts you so much, how can you let him be wronged?"
Fazheng asked with expectation in his eyes, "What did the Lord give you?"
"This is a letter from my lord, sir. Please read it."
Fazheng took the letter, opened it in a hurry, and sighed after reading it, "My lord and I have never met, yet we trust me so much. How dare I repay my lord's kindness with my life without my life!"
"What did the Lord say in the letter?" Duan Kun asked.
"My lord said, let me lurk in Yizhou. Even if Liu Bei comes to Sichuan in the future, I will be of great use. My lord and I have the same idea."
"Sir, do you need any help from Jin Yiwei?"
Fazheng thought for a while and said, "Now, what needs to be done is to break up Liu Zhang and Liu Bei."
"How?"
"I have a plan that will definitely break up the two Lius!"
"Please explain, sir!"
"After the general returned to Jingchu,..."
"What a brilliant idea!"
Fa Zheng smiled and said, "If this is done, Liu Zhang's men will definitely advise him to beware of Liu Bei. Liu Zhang himself will also hate Liu Bei. If I go to meet Liu Bei again, I will definitely make the two Liu soldiers fight against each other!"
Duan Kun couldn't help but admire Fazheng's talent, and Liu Cong's ability to recognize people, "Sir, I will go back and report to the lord. The lord said, sir, you must be careful in everything, and the Jin Yiwei of Yizhou will also do the same."
Mr.’s safety is our top priority.”
Fa Zheng felt warm in his heart, "Go back and thank your lord for me."
"Don't worry, sir."
After Duan Kun left, Meng Da looked at Fazheng with a gloomy face, "Xiaozhi, do you think he must be from the Marquis of Chu?"
Fa Zheng smiled at him, "Do you know why he doesn't talk to you?"
Meng Da shook his head, and Fazheng answered, "Think about it, what does it mean that he knows what's going on in your house?"
"It means that their people have been placed in your mansion. This is both protection and surveillance. Of course, it also means that the Marquis of Chu regards you as one of his own, otherwise he wouldn't have put so much effort into it."
Meng Da's pupils shrank, "Everyone in my family has been with me for many years..."
"What about Zhang Yongnian's servant? Didn't he follow him for many years? Wasn't he bribed by Liu Bei?"
Meng Da choked for a moment, and then became a little angry, "Since you regard me as one of your own, why do you want to monitor me?"
Fazheng thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because I'm not trusting you, or maybe it's because I want to protect you. Maybe not only you, there are people from them in my house as well."
Meng Da said angrily, "Then we still rely on him?"
"How can the hero do things without control? Now, if we have second thoughts, we will die without a burial place!"
"But……"
Fazheng scolded sternly, "No but, Zidu, it has been more than ten years since you and I came from Mei County to this day. When a man is born in the world, he should do great things, establish a career, have a wife and lovely children, and leave his name in history!"
"Don't worry about this trivial matter. Think about it. One day, the Marquis of Chu really kills Liu Bei. What credit will we get?"
"At this point, we have no way back, Zidu, those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters!"
Meng Da smiled bitterly, and then said seriously, "You are not allowed to tell anyone about my concubine's affair with a servant!"
"Hahaha……"
Liu Cong didn't deliberately spy on Meng Da, but this guy's reputation in history was really not very good. If Fazheng was sold one day, the gains would outweigh the losses, so he could only take precautions.
In Yuzhang City, Zhou Yu was also worried. Liu Cong published the entire conversation with Lu Su that day in a newspaper, and he didn't know how to transport it to various places in Jiangdong.
After the army learned that Sun Quan had used Wu Guotai's name to murder his own sister, their morale plummeted.
You high-level officials said that Liu Cong came to invade, but that person said in the newspaper that he came to take revenge and seek justice.
Who do we idiots believe? Zhou Yu originally wanted to suppress this matter, but then he felt that if he did so, it would only confirm his guilty conscience, so he ignored it.
However, he ignored him, and the people below just talked about it casually. To this day, many small schools and military princes have gathered together, wanting Zhou Yu to give an explanation!
In front of the gate of Yuzhang's governor's house, Ling Tong and other generals looked at these people with a headache, "You are so brave and left your post without permission. Do you want to rebel?"
"General, we just want an explanation! Are what the newspapers say true?"
"Yes! We are not afraid of our brothers who are working hard on the battlefield, but why did the general lie to us?"
"That's right, my lord and Liu Cong are still in-laws. Why did they come to attack Jiangdong without even caring about the young lady's face?"
"Qiang!"
Ling Tong pulled out his sword and shouted angrily, "How outrageous! If you dare to discuss this matter again, you will be killed without mercy! Go back to guard me quickly!"
"Gongzhi, please step down."
"Grand Governor!"
Surrounded by the generals, Zhou Yu slowly walked over, "Don't you just want an explanation?"
"I'm telling you, this is Liu Cong's lie. It's just to damage the morale of our army and make our soldiers impetuous and unstable!"
"Bendu did not suppress this matter because it had a clear conscience!"
"Behind us, Shanyue is in chaos. If we cannot resist Liu Cong and face internal and external troubles, what will our family do?"
"Now, it has been confirmed that the reason for the rebellion in Shanyue was because of Liu Cong's instigation. Soldiers, do you believe in your own people or the enemy?"
"These are all rumors. If you believe this, please go back to duty immediately!"
Zhou Yu has a handsome face and a serious and sincere tone, which makes people very easy to believe.
"What the Governor said makes sense."
"We were so impulsive that we didn't trust our own people."
"Please forgive me, Grand Governor!"
After everyone dispersed, Zhou Yu frowned. Although what was written in the newspaper was true, he absolutely could not admit it.
To confuse right and wrong, he said that Liu Cong instigated Shan Yue to cause chaos and stabilized the morale of the army. However, he now doubted that there was Liu Cong's trick in the army!
"Oh, what a troubled time." After sighing, Zhou Yu turned around and walked in, followed by the generals.
